Due to the shortage of available kidney organs for transplants, handling every donor kidney with utmost care is crucial to preserve the organ's health, especially during the organ supply chain where kidneys are prone to deterioration during transportation. Therefore, this research proposes a blockchain platform to aid in managing kidneys in the supply chain. This framework establishes a secure system that meticulously tracks the organ's location and handling, safeguarding the health from donor to recipient. Additionally, a machine-learning algorithm is embedded to monitor organ health in real-time against various metrics for prompt detection of possible kidney damage.
